Color Gelatos!!

Hi everyone! I did have some time last night to play with the Design Memory Crafts Color Gelatos and Clear Stamp Set and it was super fun!! I love these!

I took all 4 colors from the set and rubbed them in a rainbow-like pattern. Then I used the brush it comes with and blended the colors. I don't think you can see it very well, but they have a beautiful sparkle to them! Then I played around with the stamp that came with them to try to use the Gelatos to stamp with. I rubbed the darker pink right on the stamp and tried, but that didn't work very well. Then I added some water to it and still no go. While it was still wet I added more color but it was not working either. So I cleaned the stamp and tried again by just added the color and it stamped pretty good! I think it was just a little damp, but I'm not sure. It's just something to play around with to see what works for you :) Here's a close up of the stamp. I also used the Gelato on the edge around the stamp paper.

I do have to say that the paper did start to curl up, but I put some heavy coasters on it while it dried :) Then I used my ATG and put a lot of tape, especially on the edges to stick it down. But it was super easy to blend and I might have used too much water :)

My name is Helen and I live in Georgia with my husband, two children and one spoiled dog. I have a full-time job that gets in the way of my creative time. My main crafty focus is on cards, but I love to make home decor items and I really need to catch up on my scrapbooking.
